It’s even worse. Because the input came very likely from the internet and multiple AI versions are active on the internet, they’re learning from one another. Which means they repeat the mistakes they make over and over again, and other AI pick up on these mistakes, also repeating them. Now consider how AI learns and this means that AI actually is getting dumber.
And now replace that yuppie in a BMW with a truck driver in a forty (metric) ton truck. Don’t know about the phone, but the coffee and the newspaper spread out over the steering wheel were both there.
The funniest thing with AI is: It has started to become dumber. The robots have become so active that they started learning from one another and because they’re not fully trained yet, they keep making mistakes. These mistakes are repeated so often that they all consider these mistakes to be acceptable behaviour, meaning they integrate these mistakes into their core program. That is especially evident in AI-generated images and the AI-run facebook channels that only post AI-generated images.
The internet is slowly becomming the biggest graveyard possible. With e-mail adresses, accounts, profiles and other remnants of people who have long since died. And since data space has become so cheap it’s more hassle to delete an inactive account than the freed space is worth, so companies don’t really do that anymore.
My sister got some really nasty looks when she and some of her friends saw it in the cinema back in the day. You see, my sister isn’t the romantic movie type and can have a crude sense of humor. When the ship breaks apart there is this one guy who falls down the entire length of the ship and hits something, and one of her friends said “boink”. My sister burst out laughing and simply couldn’t stop.
I’ve seen the movie years later on video tape, it’s entertaining but nothing I’d want to see for a second time.
And the Japanese would make a plush toy out of that image. Japan is weird.
